Rise of Rajput State Video Lecture | History for UPSC CSE

hello everyone welcome to modern history
lecture series today in this video we
will discuss about rise of Rajput state
this is the fourth part of a topic rise
of autonomous state in our last videos
we have discussed about bengal state
hyderabad state offered state that how
these states they rose to the status of
autonomous state during the declining
phase of Mughal Empire
similarly in 18th century Rajput state
also took advantage of the growing
weakness of Mughal power they freed
themselves from the central control and
also increase their own influence and
they achieve their glory over the rest
of the empire now what was the location
of these Rajput state if you see in map
land of Rajput it wasn't historical
region and in present day we see if we
see the India man
it included Rajasthan you can see in
this map it included Rajasthan this area
Rajasthan and parts of Gujarat as well
as parts of Madhya Pradesh and Pakistan
so the overall the spread was among
these state of present time like
Rajasthan Madhya Pradesh Gujarat and
parts of Pakistan and the two important
kingdoms of Rajput Ana's Rajput Ana's
means land of Rajput s-- where Rajput
she used to live the two important
Kingdom were Marv R and Amir if we see
in math Manoir nowadays it's known as
Judah poo it's a region this is
Rajasthan in the southwest of Rajasthan
there is Ruth pool here and in the
northwest part of India
I mean army also known as AM beef it was
a city in Rajasthan which presently
comes under Jaipur region so this was
the region of ambi or Amir so these were
the two important regions of Rajputana
Kingdom jodpur which was known as murat
and Jaipur which was known as
ambi argit Singh who was ruler of Marvel
and raja jai singh who was ruler of
embarr my rod is the region where Joe
puris and embarrass a region verge a
porous so these two Rajput rulers they
were not happy they were unsatisfied
with the Mughal Empire there were so
many orange a policies we have already
discussed about these policies which led
Rajput to revolt against them orange a
policies like one policy was religious
policy then orange they believed in
expansionist policy he wanted to expand
his empire to great extent that these
all policies they drove Rajput to revolt
against the Mughal one of the example is
that his act of destroying temples in
state of Jaipur inaudible and even the
jizya taxed we have already discussed
about the jersey attacks that what is
jersey attack so these acts of
destroying temples and then jersey
attacks and his expansionist policy
these were led to the feeling of hatred
against Mughals in the mind of Rajput
and even ruler of marva Raja just one
Singh who was father of Ajit Singh when
he died
Oren's have tried to annex his Dominion
he tried to annex the Kingdom of Marvin
and he also seized his son that is a JIT
Singh and tried to raise him like a
Muslim
this led Rajput against Mughals and
thereby because of all these Marvin and
Mahad they both joined hands together to
find against Aurangzeb and which
continued throughout his rule this
growing rivalry among Rajput sand
Mughals it led earlier the loyal Rajput
to be against the Mughal Empire there
were strong supporters they were loyal
towards Mughal earlier and this was one
of the factor of decline of Mughal
Empire after this when in 1707 Aurangzeb
diet added Singh took advantage of the
situation he took advantage of
war of succession in mughal empire hany
expecially forged a Shahi father means
pasta who was employed by the Mughal by
the center in the city city of Madrid
city of marble and captured City after
orange a successor of Mughal emperor was
Bahadur Shah Hadassah one but because of
war of succession there was so much of
confusion that was prevailing in the
empire that argit Singh took advantage
of the situation and he captured the
city of Murad and this led Bahadur Shah
he decided an expedition against Rajput
he marches in a jet Singh and he secured
his submission so about the Army's
Mughal and the armies of Ajit Singh in
1708 these both armies of Mughal and a
jet Singh they fought against each other
in which audit Singh had to accept the
severity of Mughals according to a
treaty which was being concluded between
the two Mughals and a jet Singh Ajit
Singh was recognised as the ruler of
marver he was recognized as the ruler of
marvered and this is the earliest light
which I had already discussed with you
in last video of decline of Mughal
Empire video - so when we discussed
about the rule of BA Hadassah one who
ruled from 1717 1712 we discussed that
what was his relation with the Rajput
and we discussed and we saw that feeling
of hatred that was arising amongst
Rajput against the Mughals because of
several reasons so what was the reason
now what Bahadur Shah tried to did he
tried to had greater control over the
Rajput states of embed and Marvel he
replaced Jai Singh who was the ruler of
a male by his younger brother Vijay
Singh at ambhi and also force Arjun
Singh to submit to Mughal authority
which we discussed in the last slide
that they both fought in 1708 in which
Arjun Singh had to submit to Mughal
authority but they faced strong
resistance
because of which he had to recognize his
mistake and restored States to Raja Jai
Singh and Arjun Singh but their demand
of hyman subs and governship of
important provinces of Malwa and Gujarat
that was not accepted so that was this
is what we were discussing in last that
after the fight in 1708 treaty was
concluded in which I judge Singh was
recognized as the ruler of marble and it
was all because of the strong resistance
which Bahadur Shah face because he was
trying to over control these states
after the death of Badou Shah the next
successor of Mughal Empire was jahandar
shah and and we discussed in a last
slide about the fight between Mughals
and adjusting in 1700 a and we saw that
Ajit Singh had to submit to the Mughal
authority though he was recognised as
the ruler of marvel but a judge saying
he was not satisfied he formed an anti
Mughal alliance with Raja of Jaipur
chasing and Durga D'ass rathole
now who was Durga das Ratan he has a
credit to preserve rato dynasty over
Madrid after the death of just one singh
raja just one Singh was father of audit
Singh so after his death when Aurangzeb
tried to annex the kingdom Durga D'ass
retort played a very important role in
preserving the rat hardness so with both
raja jai singh and Durga D'ass tratar
Arjun Singh formed an T Mobile Alliance
when we discussed about the jahandar
shah rule we discussed that his Vizier
was dhul fiqar khan he tried to do a lot
of administrative changes he tried to
establish friendly relations between
Mughals and Rajput
this is what we discussed when we
discussed about Ganesha this is an old
slide we discussed that on the advice of
Zulfikar khan jahandar shah tried to
establish friendly relations with
Marathas and Rajput regarding Rajput he
gave the title of mirza raja to jai
singh of malva and also pointed him the
governor of Malwa and Maha
Roger to a jet sink of mud wad and also
pointed him as the governor of Gujarat
so these governship they were being
demanded by these Rajput s-- Jai Singh
and Arjun Singh which was being granted
to them by jahandar shah an advisor of
his Vizier dhul fiqar Khan after
jahandar shah the next mughal emperor
was Faruk CR and during his time say yet
brothers they were very prominent in the
court they had their influence in the
code they were known as King the makers
but after some time they were both ruler
and sire brother D started conspiring
against each other but in this fight
Jaipur and Jodhpur Rajasthan us they
remain neutral between the fight or
Farooq CR and sayyid brothers say yes
brothers they were very diplomatic they
tried Rajput to be with them so they
appointed so they appointed a judge
Singh as the governor of a Jemaine and
Gujarat but soon Arjun Singh he became
victim of internal disturbances and he
was killed by his own son this was one
of the weakness of Rajput state that
these states they used to fight among
themselves there were so many internal
politics there were so many internal
disturbances among the states because of
with these stayed beside being of very
powerful states they were not able to
establish a very strong and a very huge
Empire so this is an old slide from the
topic of decline of Mughal Empire in
this when we discussed about the Farooq
CR we discussed about Rajput that during
the Rajput Hassan Ali mashed against a
jet Singh of Marvin and forced him to
enter into a treaty with the Emperor
and according to few sources who Saxena
Lee was the commander-in-chief of the
Mughal forces they attack truth pool and
they forced a judge saying that if they
want peace they have to marry one of the
daughter with parousia and after this a
year brother they tried to win over Ajit
Singh and they appointed him as the
governor of admir and Gujarat and at
last are just saying he was killed by
his own son Bhagat Singh
another important kingdom of Rajputana
x' was kingdom of army and servile Raj
Singh he was the ruler of Amin and he
was most outstanding Rajput ruler he was
outstanding lawmaker he was reformer he
he made a lot of reforms in the
administration social reformer he was a
man of science regarding sayyid brothers
Jai Singh Bo's opponent of syed brother
right from the start but he tried to
keep himself aloof from the politics of
sparazza
and Sayid brothers in 1721
anti psychic party appointed him as the
governor of Agra and during the time of
Mohammad Shah he was also given the
charge of administering the state of
Gujarat and he founded the city of
Jaipur and made it a great seat of
science and art bill strictly on the
basis of scientific principle it was an
organised city all the streets they used
to intersect at right angle also Jai
Singh was an outstanding astronomer and
and he erected observatory with very
accurate and advanced instrument and
many of his inventions can be seen at
gentleman tell at Delhi Jaipur Oh Jan
Varanasi and Mathura also he caught
famous works of geometry elements of
geometry by Euclid and many other
trigonometry work got translated into
Sun screen and also translated Napier's
work on construction and use of
logarithms so one can see that how much
advanced he was as he was a
distinguished statesman he built five
observatories where special arrangement
were made to study astronomy and these
five as I told you they were at Delhi
Jaipur with Gen Varanasi and Mathura if
you see in the city of Jaipur the
buildings of city of geppu was based
richly on scientific principles he built
ins he built roads and got several wells
dug for the public convenience and he
was also a social reformer he enforced a
law to make peace
reduce the expenditure on the marriages
of their daughter daughter's wedding so
he enforced this law to reduce
expenditure on daughter's wedding as
this was one of the reason of female
infanticide so Jai Singh he was such a
remarkable ruler he ruled for $16.99
till 1743 and he reformed a lot in
administration and he did a lot of work
in astronomy and and he founded the city
of Jaipur on the basis of scientific
method
so although Rajput they had strong
rulers and they controlled Rajputana in
the area around Delhi in 18th century
but they could not consolidate the
overall position and the main reason was
their internal discord their internal
rivalry their civil wars and all these
internal quarrels they made Rajput
politically very unstable and also made
them an easy prey to the Murata attacks
and the same type of conspiracy as there
was in Mughal rule as there was in the
Mughal Court which led to their decline
it was existent in the Rajputana States
as well
corruption conspiracies treachery these
things it led to the decline of Rajput
States as well so that's all for Rajput
State we discussed in this video about
that how Rajput state they rose to an
independent state and the rule of
important Kingdom Marvin and Amir in our
next video we will discuss about another
autonomous state that's all for this
topic rise of Rajput state thank you
very much
